Please notice that the rules did NOT change, although new more sophisticated
rules had been prepared. But some radio magazines published the old rules
very early and a correction only would have lead to confusion.
In addition the new rules will make log checking more complicated and so
helpers have to be recruited...

If you don't know us yet:
The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) is a supra-national network of qrp
enthusiasts from 12 nations pursuing the organization and promotion of
QRP Contests since 1992.
The qrpcc may be viewed as a support group taking care of the qrp'ers
and homebrewers interests in a self-help manner.
-The ORIGINAL-QRP-CONTEST, designed for genuine QRP gear, has been carried
out by the qrpcc since 1996.
-The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-PARTY since 1997 also has been organized
by the qrpcc very successfully.
-The QRP-minimal art-SESSION is the youngest qrpcc-event coming into life
at Ascension Day 2000.
The promoters of qrpcc are private persons supporting the idea by personal
participation in organizing, log-checking, printing address labels etc. or
by sponsoring postage costs.
Because of its international design the qrpcc does not seek affiliation with
national ham radio organizations but is open to any friendly cooperation.
- - - - -
The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-PARTY is a liberal event: there are no
taboos like exceeding the 5W QRP limit or operating commercial equipment.
So we meet fiddly multi-IC low power test equipment as well as a loving
restored S-Lines from the 50ies or even One-Tube-TXs from the 20ies.
In all cases don't forget to test your equipment in time to avoid a
"bombshell" during the HOT-Party. Which has happened not only once...
Hpe cuagn in HOT-PARTY!
Best 73 de Hal, DJ7ST
